Yay, Gifts

Last week I posted some pics of various knitted things that had caught my eye now that Winter has kicked in - well look what I was given this morning......

Krissa has obviously been keeping up to date with my blog and came across this while she was in Sydney on the weekend.  I absolutely love it and have had many jealous customers commenting on it already.  Thanks Krissa!

Good Friends are Priceless

It's been a long week already and it's only Tuesday!  After a big weekend celebrating a friend's 40th I got slammed by the dreaded gastro and spent the rest of the weekend wishing someone would end my misery. 

I've survived the last couple of days on the odd square of Vegemite toast and have been feeling very sorry for myself.  Until this morning that is.  My gorgeous friend Krissa turned up at our 'morning meeting' with a present for me.

Not my birthday - just a 'love' present apparently and gee am I glad she loves me...  how cool is this?

Now I too can look super stylish even though I don't drink coffee.  This Tea Lovers Eco Cup even has a teapot button that you can wrap your teabag string around while the tea is steeping.

I love it and the fact that it looks like a ceramic ginger jar has me completely smitten.

How lucky am I?  Krissa's gift coupled with another friend who brought me chicken soup to work today has made life a whole lot brighter.

I may even make it through the week.

For Eliza

The lovely Eliza has bought herself a home down the coast and we have been having great fun discussing all the fun things she is going to do to it when they move in.  One of her ideas was to paint the outside black so when I came across this shot I thought of her.  I think it looks fabulous.

Happy Birthday Pony!!

I hope you had a lovely birthday my friend.

Flashback Friday

God It's Flashback Friday again already and I nearly forgot!!

This photo just scrapes in as it's taken in 1985. It's one of my favourite photos as it is so evocative of my fabulous school days. This is Kris and I catching some rays in the corridor at school and although I look like I'm puckering up for a kiss I 'm sure Kris was just offering me some of her lunch. This photo makes me want to go back to those days so much... when you spent all day with your best friends instead of trying to catch a spare half hour together around kids, work, husbands, LIFE!!!
